About Linda

Linda Levinson is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - with ten years of clinical experience. She started her career after earning a dual degree in mental health and substance abuse treatment and has focused much of her work on addiction and co-occurring concerns.

She began by supporting people recovering from opioid use and related disorders. That work expanded into helping with trauma, stress, depression, low self-confidence, guilt and shame, anger, and anxiety. She also works with process addictions such as shopping, video gaming, internet use, exercise, gambling, and sex and love addictions.

Levinson has substantial experience with clients in the LGBTQIA community and with people exploring sexual identity. She helps people process sexual trauma, grief, or dysfunction, and she sees clients who navigate open or non-monogamous relationships. Her practice includes care for intimacy-related issues and relationship communication problems.

In sessions she focuses on identifying what is holding someone back and on using past experience to locate strengths. She combines methods from several approaches to match a person’s needs. Typical themes she addresses include anger, coping with life changes, parenting strain, career stress, and addiction-related relapse prevention.

Her background also covers aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, and codependency. People looking for help with mood concerns, ADHD, sleep problems, or grief can expect straightforward practical work aimed at clearer choices and concrete next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and to take steps that match their values. It is useful when anger or avoidance gets in the way of daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own ability to find solutions and make decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday break, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may simplify use of mindfulness exercises, homework review, or structured CBT skill practice, but check current options before scheduling.
